My daily cultivation progress is calculated.

Chapter 68 Father and Daughter Reunion! The Yang Chapter of "The Longevity Manual"!

Shen Yan returned home and began practicing his martial arts.

In the dead of winter, Shen Yan was shirtless, his skin glowing with a faint golden hue.

With each breath, all the muscles in the body exert force.

Gradually his skin began to turn red, and soon after, it turned coppery red.

"call!"

He exhaled a breath of stale air, and a cloud of white frost condensed before his eyes.

"The second stage of the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique has finally been mastered."

After many days of arduous cultivation, with the blessing of the Dao Fruit, he finally ushered in the second stage of the Profound Skill.

"It is indeed not easy to break through the third level of the middle grade. Although my skin and flesh have exceeded the copper skin level, I have no clue how to strengthen my muscles and bones."

Shen Yan felt the immense power of his blood and qi, which far exceeded the level of the perfected Golden Body Technique.

Although both are of the seventh rank, their strengths are incomparable.

If it were revealed that they were practicing three different body-refining techniques simultaneously, probably no one would believe it.

While external training methods allow for rapid breakthroughs, the advancement becomes even more swift when combined with rare and precious materials.

However, not everyone can withstand such immense power of blood and qi. If Shen Yan had not also cultivated the "Longevity Technique," he might have died from ruptured blood vessels long ago.

Ignorance breeds fearlessness; only those who follow unorthodox methods without a master dare to act so recklessly.

Shen Yan practiced Taizu Changquan in the courtyard, the wind from his punches whistling like the roar of tigers and leopards.

He felt his own strength at that moment and thought to himself, "I might be able to put up a fight against Iron Armor."

The next day.

Shen Yan arrived at the Heavenly Prison.

Back in his cell, Qi Xuan continued to work diligently at his desk.

Shen Yan couldn't help but shake his head; he had said it countless times already.

But Qi Xuan still arrived early and left late.

He was the most diligent worker in the prison, a stark contrast to the lazy demeanor of the jailers.

Influenced by him, Shen Yan also began to look at the jailers with a bad attitude.

I always feel uneasy when I see them not working hard.

At times like these, Shen Yan would think to himself:

"Alas! They've fallen from grace; they're starting to resemble capitalists."

Yan Biao will be taken to the execution ground today, and after his identity is verified, he will be executed.

Chen Xiaoshuan rushed in, gritting his teeth as he said:

"Lord Shen, may I escort Yan Biao to the execution ground today?"

Shen Yan was not surprised when he heard this.

"Is your injury healed?"

"My lord, it's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

"Alright, then you can go!"

After hearing this, Chen Xiaoshuan left in high spirits.

Seeing his excitement, Shen Yan shook his head.

Chen Xiaoshuan was lucky; in the past, Yan Biao would have left the prison unharmed.

Not to mention venting his anger like this, he probably has to secretly pray that Yan Biao won't come looking for trouble for him.

"Perhaps this is the cycle of karma, and retribution is inevitable! Although this retribution came a little late."

On the way to the execution ground, Yan Biao was surrounded by a large crowd of onlookers.

In recent days, his crimes have been widely discussed in pubs and teahouses.

They have long been aroused by both gods and men, and these people also want to see whether the blood of such villains is red or black.

During this time, people kept spitting at Yan Biao and throwing rotten vegetable leaves at him.

Seeing that it was still early, Chen Xiaoshuan deliberately slowed down his pace.

Looking at Yan Biao in the prison van, whose eyes were already lifeless and vacant, he felt a pang of regret.

"He's scared out of his wits; it would be even more satisfying if he were lucid."

Hearing the discussions of the people around him, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

"I really want to dig out his heart and see if it's black or not."

"You'll see in a bit. Why don't you go up on stage and dig it out for us?"

"How could I dare? He's a relative of that scoundrel Yan Fan."

……

When the time came, Yan Biao was executed without incident.

The executioner was Fang Jingxing.

He looked down at Yan Biao, feeling a sense of satisfaction, as if he had beheaded Yan Fan instead.

Meanwhile, Shen Yan was drinking in his cell. It was freezing cold, and the wind was particularly strong today.

He didn't want to go anywhere, so he left the prison and went home when the time came.

……

……

As night fell, the moon was not bright tonight, as it was partially obscured by dark clouds.

A black figure approached the prison like a ghost.

She avoided the gazes of the imperial guards outside the prison and entered the prison.

This person was none other than Li Miaoyi.

She had tried to find out about Li Wu from various sources, but found that Li Wu was as if he had never existed.

There is absolutely no record of it, and no one has ever heard of it.

Princess Anping was somewhat known in Bianjing, but no one could answer the question of who her husband was.

Helpless, she could only go directly to the imperial prison after paying respects to her mother at the imperial mausoleum.

We must ask Li Wu face to face why he left without saying goodbye and why he ended up in the prison.

After settling her worries, she will return to the mountain gate to prepare for breaking through to the upper three ranks.

Li Miaoyi moved through cell number A and soon found Li Wu's cell.

She stood blankly outside the cell door, unsure of what to say despite having prepared her words.

Li Wu sensed someone's arrival and saw that she was dressed in black, so he frowned slightly.

"Didn't I tell you I didn't need you to save me?"

"Save you?! I'm here to kill you!"

Li Wu was taken aback when he heard this. He hadn't expected it to be a woman's voice. Although her words were full of murderous intent, they still couldn't hide the beauty of her voice.

Having been imprisoned in the dungeon for more than a decade, he had long lost the will to live.

Upon hearing that someone wanted to kill him, without asking why, he spoke directly:

"Kill me?! Then do it!"

"Fine! I'll kill you right now!"

As she spoke, Li Miaoyi removed her veil, revealing her stunningly beautiful face.

Li Wu was stunned, because he was too familiar with this face; for more than a decade, he had never been able to forget it, not even in his dreams.

"Anping? No? You're not Anping, are you Miaoyi?"

"That's right, I am Li Miaoyi!"

Li Miaoyi was agitated and kept questioning Li Wu about why he abandoned his wife and daughter and left without saying goodbye.

Li Wu looked bitter. This was not because he wanted to abandon his wife and daughter; it was clearly because he had been imprisoned by Emperor Xuanwu.

As a result, his wife and daughters were no longer visible.

Just as he was about to explain.

The surrounding prisoners were awakened by the noise, and they were about to stick their heads out when they heard it.

Li Miaoyi flicked her jade-like fingers, and the group fell into a deep sleep.

Li Wu recounted the events of more than a decade ago, and Li Miaoyi was surprised to learn that he had been imprisoned by Emperor Xuanwu.

For some reason, I felt a nameless anger rising within me.

Hearing that Li Wu had been imprisoned in the imperial prison for over a decade, Li Miaoyi harbored deep hatred for Emperor Xuanwu.

Li Wu suddenly asked about Princess Anping's recent situation, and Li Miaoyi looked somber.

His heart sank; he already knew the answer.

"Is Anping no longer here?"

Li Miaoyi lowered her beautiful eyes, not daring to look directly at Li Wu.

Just as she was about to release Li Wu.

Li Wu quickly stopped him.

"No, if I go out, I will only harm you."

"I am now a fourth-rank expert, why would I be afraid of him?"

Li Wu was a general before, so he naturally knew the strength of the imperial court.

Let alone a fourth-rank expert, even a first-rank expert who dares to oppose the Great Zhou Dynasty will only face certain death.

The various sects and factions that once existed in the martial arts world serve as examples.

He didn't want to implicate Li Miaoyi; as long as he was in the prison, Li Miaoyi would be safe.

Li Wu bluntly stated that if she released him, he would die in front of her.

He dared not keep Li Miaoyi waiting any longer, and he told her the location of the Yang chapter of the "Longevity Manual".

"The Longevity Manual is indeed an unparalleled skill, but although I have glimpsed some of its secrets, I do not know how to begin it."

It turns out that the martial arts manual that Li Wu gave to Emperor Xuanwu was a rubbing.

No one in the world has ever seen the original version of the "Longevity Manual," so naturally, it is impossible to know whether it is true or false.
